Once these Let Billions Suffer voters see how gruesome letting billions suffer gets they will surely come crawling back to the Let Millions Suffer party and we’ll finally be able to win elections without catering to those troublesome Nobody Should Suffer radicals

This is the question I threw together to ask our Chancellor and Executive Vice Chancellor (who ended her comments by citing former Columbia U President Lee Bollinger on the threats of fascism lmaooo) in our Senate meeting today.

These Thiel cronies are the biggest threat so far - they're kids hired to break stuff
Contrary to some info I've seen, 19-yr-old Doge staffer "BigBalls" Edward Coristine did not delete his X account, it's just renamed and is private.
Wired reported that govt tech workers had to defend their work to the Neuralink intern in an Office Space-esque scene.

“Claims that DEI means “Didn’t Earn It” is one way people signal their support for old-school racism while avoiding the sanction of using open slurs. Couching bigotry in concern about “qualifications” (which only seems to apply to BIPOC)is just the socially acceptable way to launder racist disdain.
Posting my @theemancipator.org article.
“Accepting the segregationists terms of debate by acceding their alleged concern for universal values does their work for them...Countering them must begin with calling segregationists by their rightful, ugly name.”

Eliminating DEI isn't just racist — it's segregationist
New segregationists’ need to use euphemisms shows the weakness of their intellectual position and the Civil Rights Movement’s moral clarity.

Oof. Remember the Zionist mob attack against students, faculty, and journalists at UCLA? Some assailants have finally been arrested, & 4 faculty members & students are suing the university. Lailah Bezan mapped an immaculate report for @PalStudies on developments.👇🏽📰

Lot's of recent sci-fi that treats media dystopia as normal, but I want to mention @curativeprojects.bsky.social 's recent collection, Use Me At Your Own Risk, which has notes of the media intimacy and media callousness of Gibson's "The Winter Market."

BREAKING: Autonomous anti-genocide activists bring the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to a grinding halt after blockading the McDonald’s float for a second year in a row.
“Those grinches who thinks they can disrupt the parade: it’s not going to happen,” Mayor Eric Adams said yesterday.

Fresh Air replays a ‘92 interview with novelist Dorothy Allison (“Bastard Out of Carolina”). It’s great — if not easy — listening.

After every US election, we get lectures suggesting that if we were nicer to Nazis they wouldn't be Nazis. I mean, they're threatening the very survival of a lot of us, and it's supposed to be uncouth of us to mention that in mixed company. Wrote about that in 2020: lithub.com/rebecca-soln...
